Add/Update Banner Images

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Your department’s website is most likely filled with photo banners to liven up its look and feel. Photo banners appear at the top of webpages and include a border around them. We generally make sure each level 1 webpage (main left navigation links) has a full banner. Level 2 webpages (sub-navigation to main left navigation links) may use banners or sub-banners depending on content and preferences. The use of banners and sub-banners varies by department and website section.

Banners come in two sizes: full banners and sub-banners. Full banners span the width of the entire content area of a webpage and go above the right sidebar (if one exists) while sub-banners appear to the left of the right sidebar in the content area. Banners should be no more than 130 pixels tall, so the image does not move your webpage’s content too low on the screen for your users to instantly read. (more…)
